Meta is at the forefront of developing innovative hardware that redefines how people experience the world — from virtual to augmented reality. The Design For Excellence (DFX) team is a critical pillar of this mission, ensuring our cutting-edge devices are not only revolutionary in function but manufacturable at scale with the highest standards of quality, cost-efficiency, and reliability.

As a DFX Engineering Intern, you will own a scoped manufacturing engineering project with direct mentorship from a DFX engineer. You'll get hands-on exposure to how a product moves from design intent to production reality — working alongside Hardware Engineering, Quality, Test Engineering, and our external manufacturing partners.

This internship is for 12 weeks.

• Assist in developing manufacturing assembly processes, fixtures, and equipment requirements; contribute to fixture and line qualification activities.
• Perform tolerance analysis and GD&T-based studies on assemblies and part-level drawings under the guidance of your mentor.
• Collect and analyze process data (yield, cycle time, failure modes) and contribute to failure analysis and lessons-learned reports.
• Investigate a new or improved manufacturing process, applying theoretical and practical engineering knowledge to improve product quality or production efficiency.
• Present your project findings and recommendations to the DFX team and cross-functional partners at the end of the internship.

Minimum Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior internship or co-op in manufacturing, NPI, or product development
• Experience with data analysis or scripting applied to process or test data
• Familiarity with precision assembly, inspection, or automation equipment
• Exposure to adhesives, hot bar, or laser soldering/jetting processes
